Albuquerque

More than 300 years of history, legendary outlaws, 19 historic pueblos, Atomic Age secrets and adobe missions have left indelible stamps on Albuquerque, where the Southwestern-inspired hotels, contemporary art and breathtaking scenery provide a brilliant backdrop for travelers. You'll never find a shortage of things to do.

From the world’s largest hot air balloon event to the mystique of Route 66 to the Sandia Peak Tramway's breathtaking 2.7-mile ascent to 10,378, Albuquerque hotel guests can take in the city from a variety of perspectives and angles.

Red chili ristras, adobe architecture and bursts of color delight the eye throughout the 10-block, historic Old Town Albuquerque. The dining scene here is second to none, and you can easily spend a day exploring Old Town's best restaurants. Don’t be surprised if you walk away with an affinity for red and green chilies. During your trip, also check out the Indian Pueblo Culture Center to learn about the 19 pueblos surrounding Albuquerque.

310-days of sunshine and desert air scented with sage and piñon exemplify Albuquerque, and the guests at our hotels enjoy discovering this city of contrasts. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself hypnotized by the eel tunnel at Albuquerque Aquarium, seduced by stunning pottery and gorgeous turquoise and silver jewelry, or frozen by fascination at the American International Rattlesnake Museum.
